Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 150 ml Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 100 ml Tomato sauce
• 100 grams Vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 100 grams Vegan prosciutto slices
• 50 grams Fresh arugula
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or semolina flour

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the instant yeast with the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour and add in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together gradually until a dough starts to form.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 7

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it onto a floured surface, rolling it out into a thin, round pizza base.

Step 9

Sprinkle the hot baking sheet or pizza stone with cornmeal or semolina flour to prevent sticking, then place the rolled-out dough on top.

Step 10

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 12

Distribute the vegan prosciutto slices evenly on top of the cheese.

Step 13

Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper for extra flavor.

Step 14

Carefully place the pizza in the hot oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 15

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 16

Top the pizza with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Step 17

Slice the pizza and serve warm.
